The Volvo Yard (Pics&Vid, 56k is fine)

[Neil Peart]

Otherwise known to my close members as volvo mecca...seriously. Located in Ravenna, OH. Its home to 400+ volvos.

The pics are horrible, I took them as fast as I could, I was practically babysitting :roll: .
The good stuff is on high quality video, which I will post up when I can get a host.

ya:roll: . Well, since your coming from MI, down down I-75 and pick up 76 and go east iirc. Go past summit racing, until you see and exit "Ravenna" get off, at the 2nd light make a right, go down the road. Over the tracks, make a left at the stop sign. Go about, 2.5 miles down until you see a red 850 outside with a few other things on your right. Gravel driveway. I can meet you there. Im 25min away;-) and no, you really can't see it from 44 iirc.

He has his moments. I got my half moon and turbo drain seal for...$10.00 :grrr: .
Alot of those cars are forsale. The blue wagon in the video (need host) is for sale. Re-built motor, ipd suspension and lower and some nice dark tint. Re-furb virgos. Boost controller..yadda. Black leather also.

those pictures fool you probally, the yard is deeep. it looks like a row or so but there are hundreds in there. Packed like sardines.

no clue man. I kick my self for not going deeper in the yard. It forks into 3 roads:badboy: . If you want to start a amazon, 142, pv, or p1800 project. This place is perfect. He also has sh!tons of 740's, bertones, and 940's/s70/850's. Also the pile of 242's he has :lol:

damn, i'd go broke if i were you

I am, ive spent so much money there. It's just wrong. I have taken my share of parts too :P I went there at least 2-3 times a week sometimes over the summer. It was great. I never got any pictures then, but I need to go out there and get more.

[Dfer10]

not a single place here that has 850 or 9's maybe if your lucky you get a 7 but you better be quick.

[PFunk242]

Ya it is off of 44 Dan and this is the place that i told u about w/ carl

[Neil Peart]

thats the backway there then eh? Never liked that way, those roads are the worst place to have a car stall out. Dan tells me he has a source for the 760 parts ya need.

that makes me chuckle

I am definitely going to check that place out, it is probably 3 hours from me, but I'm bound
to find something decent....

[BoxDriver2]

I think there needs to be a trip down before the snow hits..

[smith_t240]

Ohhhhhh Myyyyyy God! :omg:

We should buy that place. Damn, I'd consider driving down from Wisconsin to check it out. How's the owner about letting people walk through and pick parts?

[ZyreX]

262C Bertone... *drooooooooooooool* It MUST be recovered from that place!!

[schaff70]

PM me with your phone #. I'm going to be in Orrville (& Akron) Thanksgiving weekend & would love to hit up this yard for some parts.

[mktsc]

Holy crap! I've been looking for something like this forever! I'm in east Cleveland (Mentor). I'm going to have to go and check this place out!!

He is totally cool about it. *nudge nudge* no cameras or anything. But really, he does'nt mind. If anyone goes I can meet ya. He is very un-reasonable about some parts so I can help out with that.

I should be free some this weekend..holler at me man

Lots, I really can't say what is most. 240's, 740's, 940's? there are some 850's but not as many as the rest. He has hundreds, thats all I know. It's taken me forever to inventory a peice of that yard. He has 2 barns (2 level) stacked with parts.

[Neil Peart]

I need a video host...the video is 100X better. At least 2 or so mins of me walking through.

[Super1800GTR]

I see there's @least one 1800. I'm in need of some body parts: passenger side fender/nose area, floor pans, rockers, etc.

What's that on the lower right side in the pic just above the "5cyl"??

Is that a '70 1800? If it is the tranny (manual) might be worth more than you think.
